My brother is a bit like that. Eats to live. Bland bollocks we call him. You go round there and he’ll openly ask if you want “pasta and red stuff” for dinner, except the red stuff is passata heated in a pan with zero seasoning. Lazy cunt

A Deliveroo cyclist was spotted biking in the outside lane of a busy motorway after his sat nav took him on the "wrong road".


Railway worker Scott Inglis, 32, filmed the moment he saw the cyclist on the M8 near junction 16 for George Square in Glasgow on Saturday July 3 at 4.12pm.



The unidentified man was cycling in the third lane that is coned off for roadworks, and he crossed two busy lanes to get onto the 50mph section of the motorway.

He shouted at the cyclist: "What ye dain [doing], it's a motorway you are on - you're off your f****** heid."


The cyclist then yelled back: "Wrong road."


"Wrong road, absolutely, f****** maniac," Scott replied, while laughing.



He later shared the clip online with the caption: "Wrong road? Think you could be right mate."
The other day I overtook someone on the road 'driving ' an electric wheelchair... luckily Liza filmed it.

I was a bit like that in my late teens and early twenties, had an insane metabolism where I got mardy several times a day and just needed to eat. I still liked eating different stuff though. I've slowed down since then, which I and people around me are very grateful for. I never had any cookery lessons at school whatsoever, of course.

It's a bit "man baby" in some quarters isn't it, the refusal to engage with flavours or different food? An interesting example of how masculinity shifts over time maybe?

Are there still "real men" out there who "don't want foreign muck"? I am struggling to believe there are - seems like even the most shallow macho-case will embark on a challenge to eat the hottest vindaloo or boast about having a kebab or whatever.

It's not man child so much as personality. My older bro and sister are both chef snobs so the disparity can be unintentionally funny. Thing is, he can cook lush fodder but the catering school clique throw their hands up and wince. I'm in the middle, plus being the middle sibling of 5 means you're a born mediator

(this is the first time John has been angry at me, i feel blessed, *does sign of the cross squiggle*)

LOL - I was angry at you having to eat mediocre food! I am sure we will get there eventually though.

I couldn't cook anything until my late 20's

Oven works? Turn it on and throw 4-5 Birdseye potato waffles in (wawfully versatile), tin of beans in a bowl to microwave accompanied by some rat-carcass sausages

Pretty much the same here although there was one or two staples like a pasta thing everyone got sick of.

Not really? Does he have an eccentric dietary framework / manifestation of the social construct known as masculinity?

i can comment on the diet,

i never eat vegetables ever unless they're blended or puréed or whatever to the consistency of baby food. nothing to do with foreign muck, i love foreign muck. i just can't stand the texture of vegetables, ever since i can remember. my brother is just the same. @luka made me some roast veg once and i ate them all, i was drunk though.
